Black Biscuit Release Anonymous Video

Hip hop duo Black Biscuit have posted a new video for their latest track, Anonymous, on their YouTube channel.

The video was shot in one continuous take, following the band as they make their way home and meet various characters. In order to keep the action synced with the track, one continues shot means a lot of cues for a lot of people. It took four hours of rehearsing, many false starts and a few raised voices in order to get the timings perfect but eventually it all come together. The end result is currently on rotation on MTV Base and Channel U and is number 1 in the Flava chart.

The video was produced by Two Fish Films who donated their time and expertise for free. The video was shot on a glamorous location just outside Harrow on a freezing cold November day. The miniscule budget, scraped together by the band themselves, meant the cast and crew had to work exceptionally hard. Check it out here
